I make my flight arrangements and leave my office with a spring in my step.
I’m going to go get my girl.
NINE
Laylin
“Ready?”Nora asks and we both hold our breaths as we flip the little plastic sticks over.
Nora instantly starts swearing and I can guess what her result was.
Postive.The two pink lines stare back at me and I suck in a deep breath. Pregnant. I’m pregnant, and there’s only one person who could be the father.
I’ve been trying not to think about Rowan since I’ve been back but this changes things. I wonder how hard it will be to get ahold of him.
I turn with wide eyes and look at Nora. She’s got her head buried in her hands and I hear her groaning. I was surprised when she said that she wanted to take a test too but hadn’t thought much of it since I was too worried about my own test. Now though… Now I have questions.
“Who the heck did you sleep with and not tell me about!”
She groans louder and I elbow her gently. She’s saved from answering by a knock on the door and I leave her in the bathroom as I pad out to answer it.
“Uh… it’s your boss,” I call back to Nora.
“Don’t let him in!”
“I can hear you! And I will break down this door,” he shouts back.
I turn and look at Nora, silently asking her what she wants me to do.
She gives a shaky nod, hiding the pregnancy test in the bathroom and walking into the living room.
I open the door and Luca Golding storms into our apartment, his eyes locked on Nora.
“A pregnancy test? Were you going to tell me?” He demands as soon as he’s inside.
“Tell you what? That Laylin is pregnant?” She asks him like he’s crazy. “And how did you know I even bought a pregnancy test?” She asks back, her eyes narrowing.
“Your bodyguards informed me of the purchase,” he says, some of his urgency seeming to seep out of him at her response.
“BODYGUARDS!” She shouts, glaring at him but he looks nonplussed by her outburst.
His eyes rake over her and I gasp as I realize just who exactly Nora has been sleeping with. Her eyes flick over to mine and she widens them at me, begging me to stay silent.
A pounding comes at the door and I spin away from the drama in the living room to answer it. I pull open the door and there he is. Rowan Bakeman.
He pulls me into his arms a second later and I gasp as his lips land on mine. A throat clearing behind us has him pulling back and we both turn to look at the couple standing in the living room.
“Do you always have strange men coming over like this?” Luca growls and Nora just rolls her eyes.
“None of your business.”
He glares back at her and I turn to see Rowan is still watching me.
“I need to talk to you,” I tell him reluctantly and he grins.
I roll my eyes, motioning for him to follow me as I lead him into my bedroom. Nora flashes ‘help me’ eyes at me as I close the door.
“What are you doing here?” I ask as I close the door behind us.
